Today I’d like to share with you a little summary of the original version of “Greens On The Go – Berry” supplement from It Works! Global.

While I would always advocate eating your fruits and vegetables fresh and raw, sometimes this is not always possible.

And even when we do, are we truly eating 8+ servings of each?

8+ servings of fruits and vegetables isn’t the only benefit of this supplement, it also has 38 herbs and nutrient-dense superfoods!

Although the drink is green in color, it doesn’t have the typical “green” taste to it, but a subtle berry flavor.

It comes in “Berry” and “Orange” flavor…and the “Berry” is my favorite.

When at home, I mix mine with purified/filtered water (from my Berkey) in a mason jar like in my photo above. When I take it with me on-the-go, I use my glass LifeFactory bottles.

I’ve seen a lot of people online mixing their “Greens On The Go” packets into plastic water bottles which isn’t a good idea because it’s really is just adding more toxins to your body because plastic water bottles contain the chemical BPA (Bisphenol A).

Try to use glass containers or water bottles when using “Greens On The Go” (or with any beverage) to avoid additional toxins.

Why is magnesium and potassium important for alkalizing the body?

“All fresh fruit and vegetables have important alkalizing benefits, but a diet of those highest in potassium is best for maintaining an alkaline, pH balanced body. Each serving of Greens™ provides 260 mg of potassium in the form of potassium citrate, the strongest alkalizing agent found in citrus fruit. An acidic body is not only low in potassium, but likely low in magnesium as well, as magnesium is important for regulating your body’s potassium levels. When your body is unbalanced and overly acidic, it tries to counteract that acidity by releasing calcium and magnesium from the bones to promote an alkaline pH, which can lead to a magnesium deficiency within the body. Greens™ alkalizing blend of potassium and magnesium helps to restore adequate supplies of both of these vital minerals that your body needs to maintain a healthy pH balance” (source)

Am I eating a highly acidic foods?

I was really shocked the first time I saw an acidic/alkaline food chart. Before I started eating clean, 99% of everything I ate was on the acidic food list….lots of high carb foods and hardly any fresh fruits and vegetables.

Now that I’ve cleaned up my diet, the majority of my foods come from the alkaline list, with a small handful of healthy foods from the acidic list.

The important thing to remember is it’s all about BALANCE. You should just try to eat more alkaline foods than acidic each day.

If you are eating mostly acid foods or your ratios are even reversed from the ones listed above, it would be good idea to try to focus on increasing your alkaline foods, or using a supplement like “Greens On The Go” to assist you in a transition.
